1. The 50th anniversary of The Golden Notebook; it’s a very good book.
3. $5 markets in everything, and here.
4. The religious affiliations of various superheroes.
5. Climate Change and Common Sense: Essays in Honour of Tom Schelling, edited by Robert Hahn and Alastair Ulph, comes out today.
#5 — I see that the climate change book is going for $90 USD on amazon — I will wait until my university library acquires it to read the articles that might interest me
I read the Golden Notebook as assigned reading about 40 years ago.
I thought it was self indulgent, self absorbed chic lit.
That’s super. I guess that is why you have that book review column in the NYT.
Before this degenerates into a debate about global warming, I’ll second Enrique – that’s a lot of money for a book. And no Kindle version? Is it intended as a textbook?
2. Freemasons need to embrace the conspiracy theory that they run everything. It’s much more exciting — and better for recruiting — than the reality of mild men of middle and greater years hanging out and engaging in yawn-inducing good works.
The Freemasons past their prime years ago. It’s the Stonecutters that run everything now. I don’t even think the Freemasons in their prime could have made Steve Guttenberg a star.

Happy Passover and Easter everybody.
#2 – there’s supposedly “no such thing as the secret handshake” but once an old Mason mistakenly thought I gave him the secret handshake, responding with a coded phrase.
2. Lack of women in the Masons = naff. Not appealling to young men. Also, more women managers makes it a worse networking tool.
4) “The Atheist” is apparently agnostic.
5. “the growing evidence that climate change is a serious problem” Much like the growing evidence that homeopathy really works, there is an ever-growing mountain of poorly researched, badly reviewed, activist-driven climate science that convinces fewer people than ever. Common sense, indeed.
